Abstract

The purpose of this article is to illustrate a praxiological approach to management research, using a study which explored the transnationalization of the Stockholm School of Economics. The article begins by reviewing the philosophy and methods of praxiology. It then summarizes the research design of the study, emphasizing 1. activity theory, one specific practice theory which views practice as activity, and 2. activity system analysis, a generalized framework for analyzing activities. The article continues by presenting selected results of the study. Finally it discusses the study vis-à-vis management research.
